Chapter Eighteen

Federal Agent Elly Barnes watched from inside the surveillance van as her target met with a contact in a remote corner of a city park. Someone had organized a pop-up white party. The couple had dressed for the event and were admitted quickly. She pulled out her binoculars and pointed them at the couple.

Midnight, her raven familiar cawed and pecked at the driver's window.

Elly looked at her raven and said, "Can't it wait?" She gestured to the video feed. The bird cawed at her. She sighed and made her way to the front. She rolled the window down for the bird and said, "Don't screw around. Get over there. I want to hear what they're talking about not listen to you flirt with the locals, okay?"

The bird squawked indignantly as it jumped out of the window. With a few quick flaps, the raven took to the sky. It a short amount of time, he settled into a tree not far from the couple.

She pressed the com channel button on the radio and said, "I am linking in. I want squad one to follow the woman and squad two to follow the man."

After the two teams acknowledged her command, Elly closed her eyes, cleared her mind, and let the bond between her familiar and herself take over.

Through the eyes of a bird, Federal Agent Elly Barnes watched her target, and the contact eat part of a dinner and then spend entirely too much time dancing. The couple was so lost in each other it almost made Elly retch. They had started out with him teaching her how to do a Fox Trot, but then they had degenerated to what her father had called a Clutch & Sway. They didn't even notice with the pop-up white dinner folded up shop and placed their left-overs on the wall near them. She and Midnight both laughed when they got into a fight when he tried to kiss her, and the woman stormed off.

Elly took control of herself from the connection, letting the bond with Midnight slip away. It always took a few minutes to recover her sense of self. Being one of the few Witches in the employ of the Federal Bureau of Investigations, her ability to connect with her familiar made her a natural for surveillance.

No one really noticed if the same raven kept following them.

She shook off the last of the connection just in time to see a white limo pull up as Quinn walked out of the park. Two large bodyguard types got out and held the door open for Quinn. He handed one of them the left-overs from the dinner and got in the car.

She watched the limo drive off, leaving the two guards standing on the sidewalk. The two men opened the pack of food and split it between them. Why would the crime lord of Los Angeles want with Quinn at this time of night? She queued her radio handset.

"Before you ask, yes, follow the limo." She opened the window and let Midnight back in.
